It's official: San Francisco Bay Area metallers MACHINE HEAD will embark on a European headlining tour this fall titled "The Eighth Plague Tour". Support on the trek will come from BRING ME THE HORIZON, DEVILDRIVER and DARKEST HOUR.

There will be a pre-sale available from Live Nation tomorrow morning (Thursday, June 23) at 9 a.m. The rest of the tickets will go on general sale at 9 a.m. on Friday morning (June 24).

Asked why BRING ME THE HORIZON hadn't done a U.K. headlining trek of its own in arenas, the band's singer, Oli Sykes, told NME, "I can't imagine us headlining arenas, at this point in time it's just not something I can see. MACHINE HEAD were a massive inspiration to us growing up and we were honored to be asked to do the tour. We're really excited."
